New Fermentation Report: Scaling is Not the Only Solution to Reach Price Parity with Animal Products
Synonym Biotechnologies has launched its latest The State of Global Fermentation Report, providing insights on the existing microbial fermentation capacity and profitability drivers to help companies address uncertainty in key capacity decisions. Using the database Capacitor, which highlights the scope and diversity of existing fermentation capacity, and the new tool Scaler, a cutting-edge techno-economic analysis engine, the report suggests: Scale matters to reach price parity, however, scale is not the only solution: Scaler data shows that for every 2x increase in scale (capacity), there is a 1.4x decrease in COGS (cost of goods sold). Still, technology interventions are even more effective, showing that a 2x increase in titer results in a 2x decrease in COGS. The report adds that facilities should prioritize activities such as strain improvement …
